Review of 'Role models' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Basically a long-winded homage to some of the strange people who have influenced Waters over the years, from one of the Manson girls to the "outsider" pornographers (who know that there was such a thing as outside mainstream porn??). I think my favorite essay was the last one (isn't that the way it always goes?), titled "Cult Leader." Most of the book made me giggle and groan simultaneously, which is classic John Waters. I must admit I did miss a lot of the cultural references-maybe I'm too young to get the whole Manson family thing?
